How do I contact the shelter about Poldi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Austria handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Poldi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Poldi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Austria will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Poldi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Poldi isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutz Austria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poldi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Poldi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

"Responsible person needed" Sex: male, neutered Birth date: June 2023 Size: under knee-high Compatible with dogs: yes Children in the same household: no Home wanted: with garden, on outskirts or countryside The handsome, 2023-born mixed breed male Poldi needs an introductory period with people, then he is affectionate and motivated to participate in various activities (e.g., mastering agility obstacles) and enjoys the activity. However, he has a problem with being touched and handled, which is why he cannot wear a harness or be walked on a leash at this time. This is the reason why a home with a garden is currently being sought for Poldi. Poldi is house-trained by us, he is compatible with other dogs but ignores them rather. For Poldi we are currently looking for a home with a garden in the outskirts or countryside."

„Suche rücksichtsvollen Menschen“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Juni 2023 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: mit Garten, am Stadtrand oder Land Der hübsche, 2023 geborene Mischlingsrüde Poldi benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, dann ist er lieb und motiviert bei unterschiedlichen Beschäftigungen (z.B. Agility-Hindernisse zu meistern) mitzumachen und erfreut sich an der Beschäftigung. Mit dem Angreifen und Handling hat er jedoch ein Thema, weswegen er noch kein Brustgeschirr tragen und auch nicht an der Leine geführt werden kann. Dies ist der Grund, warum zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt ein Zuhause mit Garten für Poldi gesucht wird. Poldi ist bei uns stubenrein, mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich, ignoriert sie aber eher. Für Poldi suchen wir zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt ein Zuhause mit Garten am Stadtrand oder Land.

About Poldi

What life with Poldi looks like

Poldi is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.
